Easy Keto No Bake Cookies
These Chocolate & Peanut Butter Keto No Bake Cookies are my new go-to guilt-free treat!
Chocolate & Peanut Butter Keto No Bake Cookies
One of the women in our church group recently had a baby, but 2 weeks afterwards you couldn’t tell at all! (And amazingly this was her sixth kiddo!)
I asked her secret, and she filled me in on the Keto diet – raving about how she never feels hungry and still gets to eat all the foods she loves.
With a baby on the way this summer, I was definitely intrigued! Last time it took me quite a while to lose the baby weight (though I did get it all off eventually). However, anything that could help speed up the process is worth a look!

What is the Keto Diet?
In simplest terms, the Keto diet is a low-carb, high-fat eating plan. After a week or so on this type of diet, your body will enter a state known as “ketosis,” where your body burns more fat for energy because it doesn’t have the carbs that it would normally use.
Following a ketogenic diet can also help shed excess water weight, curb cravings (since fat tends to keep you feeling full longer), and lead to substantial weight loss. To see those benefits, you’d need to faithfully follow the plan, as eating carbs can kick you right back out of ketosis.
These Chocolate & Peanut Butter Keto No Bake Cookies are the first recipe on my list to try — they’re rich, creamy, and guilt-free! Even if you don’t follow a strict ketogenic lifestyle, they’re still a pretty darn healthy snack or dessert! They’re gluten free, lactose free, and contain no added sugar.
Check this one off as a winner!

A free printable copy of this no bake keto cookie recipe with full ingredient amounts and directions is available at the bottom of the post.
Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone baking mat.
TIP: We love these silicone baking mats because they’re non-stick and washable, so you can use them again and again!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, vanilla extract, melted butted, coconut flake and cocoa powder. Mix well by hand (the mixture will be gooey).
TIP: Feel free to add 1-2 teaspoons of Stevia if you like your cookies a little sweeter.
Scoop the no bake cookie batter onto your prepared baking sheet. Use the back of the spoon to gently shape each scoop into into a 3″ cookie.
Place in freezer for 30 minutes to set.
How to Store Your Keto No Bake Cookies
I recommend storing your keto no bake cookies in the freezer, because they do melt if left out at room temperature.
Simply place your finished cookies in a large freezer bag or airtight container and keep frozen until you’re ready to enjoy them.
This recipe makes approximately (10) 3″ cookies.
A Few Recipe Notes Based on Reader Questions
These No Bake Keto Cookies have turned out to be quite popular! I thought I’d answer some common reader questions here:
Nutrition information (in the printable recipe at end of post) is based on 1 cookie.
Our nutrition calculations are simply an estimate. They’re based on a batch of 10 cookies that are about 3″ in diameter, which is fairly standard for normal cookies, but a bit large for keto recipes. You’re welcome to make smaller cookies, for example, 20 cookies that are half that size. This may work better for those doing a strict keto diet with lower carb limits.
If peanut butter doesn’t work for you – sunbutter, almond butter, and cashew butter may be an appropriate substitute.
If coconut is not your favorite – some readers have suggested using shredded almonds or other nuts.
This recipe is keto-friendly, but of course, these are cookies, so they’re intended to be a treat. I don’t recommend eating them at every meal and expect weight loss results, BUT if they keep you from craving other full-sugar and high-carb desserts, then they’re doing the job they’re intended to do.
